Who The Hell’s 2006 Wrap-Up: Part 4 – Media

Love ’em or hate ’em, the music media are an essential part of music life.  They tell us what’s on, when’s on, and are the voice of the people, even if we don’t always agree with them 100% of the time.  But with their lives entrenched in music, it’s only fair that we give them a voice on the blog as well.  So here’s some Top fives from Australia’s top editors, radio DJs, VJ’s and journo’s.
